Living Stewardship

"Blessed are they who have not seen and have believed," Jesus says in today's Gospel. For those who have not seen to believe, however, we must be good stewards of our faith, living it joyfully and sharing it generously. Then, in our time too, "men and women in great numbers" will be "added to the Lord."

AFTER-EASTER THANK YOU

Our community changed lives this Lent through CRS Rice Bowl, and we want to say THANK YOU! Don't forget to turn in your CRS Rice Bowl at church this weekend or in the parish office this week or donate online at give.

St. Leo's KC Breakfast ? Apr 24

Knights of Columbus Council 9906 will serve a breakfast on Sunday, April 24, from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm. Menu: Pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs, coffee, and juice. A free-will offering will support emergency assistance programs. Donate your extra MarketPlace Foods gas/grocery stamps.

St. John the Apostle A Stewardship Parish

The most vibrant stewardship parishes are those in which parishioners know that they are welcome, which fosters a sense of ownership and personal involvement in living stewardship in the parish family.

Society of St. Vincent de Paul

In the Gospel today, Jesus stands in the midst of us and says: "Peace be with you!" Indeed, the mercy of God centers our heart in peace. In the month of April, through your gifts, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was able to help the poor celebrate the peace of Easter, by assisting many families, providing food, transportation, household goods and assisting with utility bills. 701-833-1269 We are especially in need of size 5 diapers

and gas stamps this month.

Word of Life

For those who have participated in an abortion and feel they have committed an unforgiveable sin:

May they come to know the Lord's limitless mercy, and turn to Him for forgiveness and healing; We pray to the Lord:

Jesus' Compassion

Those needing spiritual and physical healing lie close to Jesus' heart.

(Matt 14:14; 15:32; 20:34).
